Make an original indie game with SOUL

But it is original. Is there another 3D turn-based where the entire cast is made of hipsters?

How is being woke going?

The bait was shaking, vibrating with motion.

>open video
>that voice acting
>immediately close it
doesn't matter how good the rest of the game is if you make me want to turn off the game every second of most of it

Reminds me of Jade Empire. Good god, the acting was horrific.

>make indie game oozing with soul
>the only complaint people can levy against is it's lack of replayability

Yeah, but I think it's way more important that it delivers narrative only in the way a video game can and actually forces you make deductions instead of guesses like other detective games.that give you multiple choices.

Never heard of it. Why should I care?

So it's like wario ware whenever you want to do an attack? Ehhh, I like Wario Ware but mmm I'm not feeling it here.

Also the music is terrible holy shit.

Not defending that shit game but the guy playing is terrible

Okay sure. I'll give you that since I can't think of another off the top of my head.

BUT original =/= good.

looks like a clusterfuck

Fucking excellent, all of Lucas Pope's work is though.

I've been thinking the same thing, it might not even take that long

Soi is not the same as soul

well you can guess
and every thread about it some faggot goes "heh well I just guessed" not realizing that they sound like they're gearing up to write their sekiro review for kotaku

It doesnt matter that it has soul because the combat system is completely shit

Much art. Wow.

This is proof that finally the industry is about to die (and eventually reborn as real gaming again) when no one buys shitty modern "games" any more.

>voice acting:truly the worst
>writing:really god damn bad, even the flavor texts for attacks is bad
>animation:has so little it looks like the game is running at 15 fps
>gameplay:the minigames are half baked and many don't make any sense; the battle system is the best part of the game but it dosen't make up for the rest of the trainwreck

Yeah but it only gets you so far. You have to at least have some of the pieces in place.

Is ONIONS seriously not filtered? Just when I thought mods couldn't get any more retarded

I have seen more effort and care from the amateur game devs at /vg/

>Posting a gameplay to defend shitty game
>It's actually worse now

>that....whatever you want to call it
>soul
Didn't realize flash art was soul.

The game doesn't run like the video, it's frame capped to below what the game is.
The story is actually pretty good, voice acting is rocky at a lot of places but enjoyable enough.
The battle system is the worst part of the game by far.

no amount of soul (if there even was any in this) can save you from shit gameplay

Opened the thread assuming SOUL was some new shitty indie pseudo-engine.

I strongly disagree. It has it's moments, but it's pretty dumb for the most part, and the writing is so fucking atrocious that it ruins the few actually good moments there are

>LEMONADE
>Horrible music kicks in
HAHA HAHA XD SO RANDOM AND QUIRKY!!!!!!!!!111!!

The minigame combat is a good idea with the worst execution possible

Just don't act pretentious about it and if it ends up sucking don't blame the players, just make a better one next time.

This...made my head hurt, how the fuck is that possible?!

Good Ideas + Shitty Execution: The Game.

>it's 1999 but for some reason I dress exactly like a mid-to-late 2010's hipster
What's the point of setting the game in a recognizable point in time if it isn't going to resemble it?

Soulless games are Basedless.

>Good ideas
Like what?

Use YIIK as a guide on what NOT to do.
Do not break up the gameplay with tedious mini-games.
Do not make enemies random and quirky just to be random and quirky.
Do not try to make some 2deep4u story, then completely fuck it up with terrible character personalities.
Voice acting is an option, not a requirement.
If you're going to make a character people hate, that's fine. Don't use that to deflect criticism.
The writing is actually important here, not just having a coherent story, but make sure you don't do stupid shit like pic related.

Don't write actions, this isn't a book. Just show stuff happening

The game is a commentary on extended childhood into the mid 20s and understanding the plot requires you not to take what the characters say at face value so probably.

Friendly reminder that this is how it plays after two big "make the game and combat way faster" patches.

So, does everyone just say "soul" when they mean "charm" or something?

I had an idea called super highschool rpg about a girl named Porche Taggerson who attends a school called Eagleland high all the characters classes are highschool character tropes the jock the nerd the preppy etc and characterization would based around the formation of them being these tropes the jock became a jock because he didn't believe he was smart enough to be anything else nerd is physically weak because he lacks the drive and discipline to build up his body the central them of the setting is the deep existential dread high places on to people the school principal is a 9 armed giant constantly working to keep the school intact. And dentionies are sent the boiler room were a giant monster lives inside the boiler instead of Exp you have social status

At least RPG Maker games have menus that I can go through as fast as I can hit the directional buttons.
I started playing this recently and it does that dumb shit where there's a delay between when you can move the selection after every directional press

Maybe it's just my autism but even the fucking menus feel slow

It’s not supposed to be tense, it is supposed to be weird and ruin the mood because it’s tied to Alex mental state or something like that, the game is really coy about how much of the reality is “real”.

How would you even begin to salvage this game?

Other than the obviously correct answers of "don't" and "throw it away", of course.

I can forgive everything but the shit gameplay.

Mario already showed these hacks how to put minigames in properly. They're supposed to be reserved for giant attacks that do massive amounts of damage. Smaller attacks, if they have to have a minigame, shouldn't be any more than 2-3 seconds. When your game has tons of smaller battles, there's gotta be a pacing set.

Ok, so ignoring the bad frames, bad dialogue, and "music". Do you realize how fucking awful the pacing of the combat is? ALL attacks, on average take 5 seconds to execute INCLUDING misses and weak basic attacks. Unless you can curb stomp the enemy, fights will take a minimum of 1 minute long for random mooks and plus 10 minutes for a fucking boss where you spend at least 1/2 that paying discount warioware.

The best thing about this was all the journocucks that were butt ravaged about the main character saying he's an insufferable pretentious self centred dickhead, when he's a complete reflection of indie / journo scene.

Bioware literally stole midis off vgmix.com for that game. It's pretty comical. I have no idea how sega didn't sue the dicks off of them.

It's so fucking weird to be nostalgic for the fucking Sonic Chronicle soundtrack.

This a fan game or something? No way Sega would put that out. Say what you will about Sonic but the one thing that holds true through all the games is that the music is consistently fire.

It's a Bioware game. Westerners can't compose good music.

Legend of Dragoon's additions were absolutely top. The more you attacked the more familiar you became with an addition's timing and the more consistently you could pull it off.

The MC isn't a self insert and this "show don't tell" crap is comical, it's an indie game made by two people obviously not every single thing can be animated.

user, I know YIIK is shit, but comparing an indie dev to Pixel isn't fair at all. The dude wrote his own fucking music program and format twice for his games.

thats to pad out time so people cant get that 2 hr refund

This game tries way too hard, also whats with the -12 fps?

The game doesn't actually take place in the 90s.
Anyway, the namedrops are just fucking pathetic

Why are blacks so obsessed with being samurai?

Are you saying we should lower our expectations from indie devs just because?

The trailer has some character states "It's the 90's..." Where is this stated otherwise?

this game looks neat but i can't help but feel he's going way overboard on the visual effects. i know it's to get that danmaku feel of covering the screen with particles, and it's fine when moving around but i'm gonna guess that bossfights are going to be extremely messy and hard to read

It's just a name drop with no thought beyond that. It's like Ready Player One. Complete world salad and just checking boxes.

Is that a boss fight or a random encounter?

Toby is far from being braindead

Wow, it's fucking terrible. I wouldn't be able to make it through ten minutes of this cringe

Its cause the story is past tense, its Alex telling the story to another version of himself.
Its fucking terrible regardless though.

Higurashi had a great soundtrack though.

i actually like the music

It'd make more sense for it to not be in the 90s, since very few people wore thick-rimmed glasses, had undercuts or manbuns back then.

a game's quality isnt based off how many people make it, its based off whether its good or fucking awful, yiik is just fucking awful

a regular ass enemy

Guess Baldur's gate is trash then because most actions aren't animated.

fuck off shills

Right but Hamlet was a proven success long before even the Lion King so why did you bring up this adaptation ?

>Video 1 the player has FPS locked to half the in-game framerate
>Video 2 the player is 10 levels below the enemies and playing poorly

Why are all the vids of this game that get spammed here played by shitters and/or filled with misinfo?

spbp

Yeah, I'm gonna say it. YIIK was pretty ambitious. It's clear the dude had a vision in mind when working on it. The protagonist and character development is almost there. The supernatural, surreal story is almost there. The world design is almost there. The battle system is almost there. It has all the elements of an instant classic ,but they all fall short about half-way. There's something about it, where you can just tell the developer thought he was making a masterpiece, as if "Undertale killer" would be embalzoned upon the game's eventual collector's edition. Only in the end, the ever nefarious Indie Budget fucked him over, resulting in a half-baked mess. I can only feel bad for him.

You can't blame the painfully bad writing on the budget tho

The second video is accurate to a first time playthrough, because no fucking sane person is gonna do the monster dens to level up after encountering the battle system

I'm just 3 minutes in and can already say that this game was made by a very bad person.

I'm saying that Pixel's an outlier in terms of how much of a total fucking beast he is. He's not an appropriate "baseline", so to speak.

The exp scales based on the difference between your level and the enemy's and there's 3 dungeons before that which the game forces you to be level 5+ for, it's not realistic unless you are adamantly refusing to use the mind dungeon and just sitting on 10+ levels.

JRPGs are the true successors to the origins of the genre with wizardry and ultima. Western RPGs have forsaken these origins to become propagandized choose your own adventure books. JRPGs are the only true RPGs.

You're not wrong, but you're comparing the wrong people, here. I'd sooner compare Pixel to, say, the guy who made Iji, or Baba Is You, since they're both top-tier gamedevs.
A good comparison for YIIK's devs would be Risk Of Rain 2's devteam, since they're about 3 people who are all pretty mediocre programmers yet they still made a much better game than YIIK.

The publisher didn't told him that his shitty game had too much dialogue? Dude, you weren't deep, you were a really pretentious fuck. I wouldn't even care to be honest if it wasn't by his art rant.

You need help

Yes, just like how people say seething instead of just saying mad. Every now and then someone will crack open a thesaurus and create a new meme.

You need real RPGs, JRPGs. An argument might help too.

I leveled up every chance I got, and the game never got any quicker.

>Jade Empire
I never even noticed it being particularly aggregious, if you want the worst, try Enchanted Arms.

LMAO IS THAT ACTUALLY THE MC

Holy shit this game makes my eyes bleed. Now I understand why nobody knows about it and why indie devs are held in such low regard. This game cares 100% more about "presentation" than gameplay, to the extent it destroys the user experience. It's some of the worst cancer I've seen in the industry.

For those that haven't played it, imagine a first person game played entirely with a black/white filter like pic related. It's maddening.

I'm a different person than who you were originally talking to. I'm just pointing out the gulf in quality between western and japanese independent developers. Japanese games are often less polished but far more ambitious in their focus on game play and design.

Wizardry is a JRPG, your statement makes no sense.

More importantly, it wasn't developed in Japan.

>YIIK
>original

I know you aren't serious but that game comes pretty damn close to masturbatory, in regards to the dev. It is also fairly flawed and imo unappealing in many regards.

If you want an example of a recent, original, and successful independent game, just look at Baba is You.

And yet Undertale did 80% of this and it was a catastrophic success?

>catastrophic success
that's kind of an oxymoron
unless you think that the success of undertale was a really bad thing

It was a pretty good movie with a sympathetic black Male villain. I'm not going to say it was the best or most woke movie ever, but definitely one of the better marvel movies, a good stand alone for the franchise.

The music, mini-games, and sound-effects make me angry. If I heard someone playing this game, it'd make me angry. I'd listen to this to calm me down youtube.com/watch?v=li5mXnHyg9w

Well to be fair, Toby did a game that was "marketed" to the right audience. He had followers from homestuck and mother fanbases before so his game would be a success regardless since he delivered the exactly shit that they want to see.

Never even seen and I bet I can guess exactly what it's like.

if you cannot define "soul" then your argument means nothing, and even if you could, it would not guarantee the quality or entertainment value of a game.

I think the hate for this track is overblown. It is pretty decent and at least manages to avoid being too repetitive.

English GOD here, this is really not that bad a sentence and conveys the action of the elevator starting to move just fine.

Don't even bother to @ me I already left the thread

Lmao, this guy whined about gamers being wrong for not wanting his game... but literally no one heard about this game until he did. On top of that it turns out all he did was try to rip off undertale, except he went full hipster douchebag.

This does not look fun at all. Nor does this feel polished. What's with that laggy exchanges.

anyone who thinks this hasnt played it.
ive been playing it nonstop for a couple days to record footage for a vid im making and afterwards i checked the steam player count website thing and i was the only person who played it for the whole week.
not only is no one playing it, the game its fucking atrocious. its awful. i bought it originally cause i thought it would be "so bad its good" but its actually just fucking intolerable. jesus christ i feel like im having a stroke every time i even think about the game.

I'm currently playing it right now. It's not really as bad as people led me to believe. It's not good or incredible, but desu without the shitstorm that surrounded it and the fact that the mc looks and acts like a fartsniffer, I think if it didn't have the initial shitstream people would have just left it alone as an alright indie game. I'm not saying it doesn't have problems because it has quite a few, but it's really not worth all the negative slamming it's been getting.

When your story is a guy telling the story in past tense then it makes sense for him to say what he's thinking and what he's doing as the story progresses.

There was a big shitstorm because the crow at the beginning used to ask you "what is the name your parents gave you" and that triggered a bunch of resettrannies who have been spamming hate about the game. To this day they're still trying to push that the developer is some random ginger dude that looks like the main character and won't link to the Dick Show quote directly because he's too woke for them.

It is pretty crazy that Wizardry was popular enough in Japan that it actually got an OAV made for it.
